Research Technician 

(Juanes Lab at UVic)

As a team member of the Coho Otolith Project I spent most of my time split between the lab and the field. In the lab, I dissected various species of fish (e.g., salmonids and myctophids) and photographed their otoliths. In the field, I sampled otoliths and scales from hatchery and wild Coho and Chinook salmon from hatcheries across Vancouver Island and mainland Britsh Columbia. Along with other technicians and graduate students, I helped run experiments at Goldstream River Hatchery investigating the formation of abnormal otoliths in coho salmon.
